After the initial set-up of my laptop I realized it had internet connectivity issues. It kept dropping my wi-fi connection and I would have to reset it every 10-15 minutes.

I was ready to send it back, but found there was a wireless driver update on the Acer website. It took me over 4 days to finally get the 217mb file to download to my OLD laptop (2 hours plus to down load, not including the crashes and download failures).

After I updated the wireless driver it has worked flawlessly. I'm still getting use to Windows 8, but I'm really enjoying my purchase.

Nice thin design, screen quality is beautiful, and performance has been responsive.
